Kerrang!

For every comparison you can make of individual moments, there is little here that you can honestly say you’ve heard before, and little that can be judged on traditional terms. But that’s what makes her such a fascinating force. Pop is dead – long live Poppy

With I Disagree, Poppy releases her version of Lemonade; both channelling the pain of her recent controversy, sticking two fingers up to the past and translating her performance art into music

NME

While all our favourite rock bands are going pop, Poppy is unapologetically embracing her desire to go heavy. It might be inspired by the bands she grew up listening to, but there’s not a moment on ‘I Disagree’ that feels like a throwback

The Quietus

She roles out her bubble-gum persona, and she shoots her with metal, power electronics and rage. The result is very convincing; as much a young artist finding her voice as an AI besting the machine

Essentially, this is sugar-rush, hyperactive pop music for people with the attention span of a gnat

Poppy lays bare a necessary reminder to reject conformity and encircle empowerment. Whereas I Disagree explores what is confining and liberating - the latter is the album's unequivocal focal point

This album is going to seriously divide opinions across the spectrum, from the trvest of metal sugariest of pop stans. But Poppy remains a daring and divisive artist making daring and divisive art, and ‘I Disagree’ is the perfect shot of adrenaline to kick start a new decade with

Pitchfork

The cryptic YouTuber’s new album is the first to fully embrace the upsetting qualities of her video works, folding elements of nu-metal and grindcore into her seasick melange.

I Disagree is a record you’ll want to enjoy, but not necessarily analyze. It’s perfect for a romp down the highway at 90 MPH, or engulfing your personal critics in flames

I Disagree also functions as an unwitting satire of how far clout can get you

The best thing I can say about this record is that it’s an occasionally-proficient pop star (albeit one who isn’t to my tastes), making a poor attempt at filling a gap somewhere between Bring Me The Horizon, Billie Eilish and Babymetal
